i've been wanting to get my LS tinted as well, so if you find a good place maybe we can get a few people together and get a group deal

In Fremont it's Automall Tint Factory. Right off Automall Parkway exit off 880. A little more North in San Leandro is California Sunscreen right under the BIG Levitz sign off of 880.

Both shops are owned by Sid Lee. He has been doing my cars for over 10 years. He's been in the business a long time. He does a lot of new cars for the dealers as well as large office complexes. He has just opened the Automall shop as part of his expanding business.

Tell him Glen sent you from ClubLexus.


Quality work at a fair price. This is one service where you get what you pay for.

yea i tried to call him last time you told me glen, but he's never around. He's a very busy guy. I've had a lot of school work that got me sidetracked from getting my windows tinted. Maybe this time we'll be able to get a hold of him

Yeah he is doing way too good business lately, especially with two stores.

I even can't get him that easy now a days.

I will PM you his cell phone #. You have to leave a message there too, but you stand a better chance.

Do you know if he does bronze? Are there tint smples in the office? I might make a trip down there in the next couple of weeks.

bronze? not really sure. he has the usual shades of black & metallic tint. those were the options i had, but he might have changed. there were samples in the shop.

I opted for the 35% metallic all-around. give him cash and he'll charge you less.

Post pics when you are done or hopefully I can see it in person at a meet. Tint is on my todo list but somewhat lower priority. When I took it in to a shop, they suggested I go with bronze too since my car is bronze. I was not quite convinced since I am used to the shades of gray/black. I'd like to see how bronze looks on your gold.

Will do. Tint is kinda low on my priority list too. Also, my tint wont be dark. Since we have auto-dimming mirrors the glare from headlights isn't as bad. I'm not too concerned with the privacy since my car is so unique people will know who it is - no to mention the custom license plate. I'll probably have 20-30% tint.

I'll definitely post the photos when I get it done though. Please do the same if you get yours done first.
